The First Storm [4th Wall 1-Video/Action for Cherrygrove]

[soggypastry]

[A bright flash of light, and then...Cherrygrove? Okay, what the hell is going on? She was just in Violet, so how did she end up here? Oh, and please don't mind the slightly damp hair. She just got out of the bath. ...at least she's dressed, right?

Though, the horse in front of her doesn't seem to mind, either way. He's just enjoying being bigger.

[Did someone order an exuberant and slightly confused orange-haired girl? When she spots Light, though, her exuberance only grows.]

Lightning~! Lightning!

[soggypastry]

[Heeyyy...the kitchen got her order wrong. But she'll take it anyway! Have a grin, Vanille. It's been a while...]

Vanille.

[heldourfate]

[That is lucky, or else Vanille would pout. No one wants a pouting Vanille on their hands. Also you are definitely getting a big hug, Lightning.]

I didn't think there'd be anyone around that I knew! I'm glad you're here!

[soggypastry]

[Well, of course no one wants a pouting Vanille. And you're getting a pat on the back in return. Hugs really aren't her thing...]

It's good to see you too.

[heldourfate]

[lol why so socially inept. It's okay, Vanille barely notices the back patting. She steps back and grins a little sheepishly.]

Right! Sooo... where are we again?

[soggypastry]

[Oh, yes. SHe's just so socially inept it hurts.]

Cherrygrove City. Place called Johto. You're going to be stuck here for a while.

[heldourfate]

[Vanille is sociable enough for the both of them!]

Cherrygrove City... huh! It doesn't seem like such a bad place! [Now she's peeeering at the Rapidash sort of curiously.] Odin looks a little different to what I remember.

[soggypastry]

[Oh, good.]

[Hi, Vanille! You're getting a horse sniffling at your hair now.] It's just his name. The Odin you knew is gone. [Gone with her brand. Gone with their Focus.]

[heldourfate]

[Bawww, horsie. Vanille pats Odin on the nose, smiling. Once she registers what Lightning's said, she throws a surprised glance in her direction.] Gone? Completely?

[soggypastry]

[Oh, yay! Another person to pat him! But have a nod, Vanille.] Or whatever happens to an Eidolon when their l'Cie completes the Focus they were given.

[heldourfate]

Completes the Fo-- [oh timelines, way to be confusing.] I don't remember that! We were going to Eden, and then I ended up here...

[A pause.] So we really did it?

[soggypastry]

[She's almost used to it. Hope's from around then too, but, have a nod] We did.

...You and Fang...made sure of that.

[heldourfate]

[Another thoughtful pause. Vanille has a kind of sort of tiny inkling as to how they did that, maybe... but...]

I'm glad! I knew we could do it.

[soggypastry]

Yeah. Cocoons kind of a mess, but we made it. We'll be alright.

[heldourfate]

Kind of... a mess? [T-that doesn't sound good.] But... right! That's the important part!

[soggypastry]

[Nod. To both parts.]

We'll just have to chase the Cie'th from Oerba while we set up on the Steppe, that's all.
